We have been fortunate enough to have two summer interns (law clerks) for 2026. Law clerks are law school students spending time in our office to start learning and gaining practical experience to decide what areas of law that interest them. There is also a great deal of difference in what they learn in law school (academics) and the actual practice of law, and this is where the law students start to bridge that gap.
Olivia Triano, a rising 3rd year student at Capital University Law School in Columbus, has spent two summers with us. A native of the area, Olivia was not sure what area of practice interested her when she first came to our firm. During her time, Olivia has spent individual time with each attorney, learning different styles and methods used to provide direction, results and comfort to our clients. Most importantly she has learned the importance of preparation for all court appearances and mediations. We are excited that Olivia has accepted a position with us as a new lawyer after she passes the Virginia State Bar exam.
Isabelle Gurtler, a rising first year law student at the University of Richmond School of Law, spent this past summer with us as well. Isabelle was born in Richmond but relocated to Jacksonville, Florida ten years ago. Isabell has enjoyed her experience with us and now has a real interest in exploring family law as a career.
We look forward to seeing how these two bright budding lawyers develop and have been happy to have been part of the start of their journeys.
